The Truth and Nothing But The Truth

FALSEHOOD DOES EVERMORE HAVE A WAY OF PUBLISHING ITSELF.

It is virtually impossible to conceal the truth forever. It is the natural order of things that the truth will eventually come out. This single fact is the foundation of our judicial system and the basis on which all human relationships are formed. A business, professional, or personal relationship built upon a lie cannot long endure, but one that is founded on truth and equality of benefit for the participants is unlimited. Make it a practice to tell the truth in all that you do-even when it doesn’t matter-and you will form a habit of truthfulness. You will know instinctively that it is better to tell the truth and face the consequences than to launch a falsehood that will eventually make itself known to the world. of what others think.

Honesty Is The Best Policy!!

THE PERSON WHO IS HONEST ONLY FOR A "PRICE" SHOULD BE RATED AS DISHONEST.

There are no degrees of honesty. There are only absolutes. Either you are honest or you are not. Honesty does not come for a price; honesty is its own reward. It’s also the most efficient form of human behavior. Honest persons never have to worry about which lie they have told to whom, and they never have to worry about getting caught. Thus, they are free to focus all their energies on more productive things. Make it a habit to be honest in all your dealings. If you can’t be truthful in what you say, don’t say anything at all. Remember, small lies start out innocently enough but soon assume lives of their own. A small lie requires a larger one to conceal it, and soon more, even larger lies are required. Don’t tell that first lie or take a single thing that doesn’t belong to you, and you’ll never have to worry.

German Bakery Yummy

Thinking and talking about Germany made me nostalgic...after meeting some very nice people and giving me a bottle of German wine (during one of my closings)...they told me of this famous bakery that serves real German food and baked goods...I couldn't help but want more...my appetite rose to a frenzy...

That very night I uploaded pictures of Germany on fb to share with my family and friends on how wonderful were those days locked in my memory forever. For our visit to Germany under the military care was memorable.

So off I went the very next day in the afternoon searching for Yalaha???? Never heard of it...Florida?? no it couldn't be...what kind of name is that??? But go I must...and filling up my little car with gas off I went...country road....hills...lots of trees...where was I?? no matter on I went...playing my music and camera ready....miles and miles and still no Yalaha...hmmm am I heading the right direction??

Just as I turn the corner why there is a post office..yes it says Yalaha...and a fire station...cemetary...ok people do live here...where is the town??? but more importantly where is this famous bakery??

And there it was...how quaint and cute off to the side of the road on county rd 48..the parking lot is full...people are sitting outside on benches...a guy is singing and playing his guitar...cars from Germany...most be a club..and the cottage was there...yes with German design and flag blowing in the wind....ahhh nice...I was not disappointed...

Once inside, the smell of baked goods filled the air..ahhh I felt I was in Germany...people were friendly...more guests arriving the place is filling up...they come from everywhere..met a couple from Tampa...wow is this place that famous?? according to the guests...yes it is....young and old enjoying the smell and culture of Germany...Germans,,,Italians,,,Spanish,,,Hungarians,,,and elsewhere..

Should I Wait for A Man That I Love?

Dear Lauren: Should I Wait for A Man That I Love?

Dear Lauren, I met a gentleman in November and we hit it off really well. We were in a long distance type relationship and talked every day for several hours. I fell in love with him about 8 weeks into the relationship. We saw each other just that once in November. I sent him a ticket to visit me as a surprise but he said he couldn’t do it because his job wouldn’t allow it.

"Beauty is in the eye of the beholder."

YOU CAN ALWAYS SEE IN OTHERS WHATEVER TRAITS OF CHARACTER YOU ARE LOOKING FOR.

Margaret Wolfe Hungerford said, "Beauty is in the eye of the beholder." It was her way of saying that we see what we wish to see in others. Every living human being is a complex combination of feelings, emotions, and thoughts-some good, some bad. Your impression of another depends far more upon you and your expectations of that person. If you believe someone is good, you will find good qualities. If you don’t, you won’t. When you are yourself a positive person, you tend to find positive qualities in others. As you work to develop good, constructive habits to improve yourself continually, make it a practice to look for those same qualities in others. It’s easy to spot another’s shortcomings, but when you identify the good in others and congratulate them upon their positive achievements, you will make friends on whom you can always depend-both in good times and bad.

CHICKENS COME HOME TO ROOST

CHICKENS COME HOME TO ROOST, AND SO DO YOUR THOUGHTS. BE CAREFUL WHAT SORT OF THOUGHTS YOU SEND OUT.

The thoughts you send out to others will have a far greater impact upon you than upon them. Unlike a material possession, when you release a thought or give it to someone else, it also stays with you. It may remain buried in your subconscious long after your conscious mind has forgotten about it. Like chickens that return to the coop at night, such thoughts may flash into your consciousness when you least expect them. When your thoughts are positive, you never have to worry about the damage you may do to yourself through negative thinking. Cheerful, productive, happy thoughts that are buried in your subconscious bring positive results when they recur, and by their presence they encourage the maintenance of a positive attitude in all that you do.

You're Only As Old As You Feel!!

YOUR TRUE AGE IS DETERMINED BY YOUR MENTAL ATTITUDE, NOT THE YEARS YOU HAVE LIVED.

The American clergyman and author Tyrone Edwards said, "Age does not depend upon years, but upon temperament and health. Some men are born old, and some never grow so." No doubt you’ve known teenagers who were old before their time and seventy-year-olds who had the temperament and enthusiasm of those discovering the wonders of life for the very first time. It is all a matter of attitude. As you grow and develop, make sure your experience is directed toward the acquisition of wisdom, not the acceptance of cynicism. If you find it difficult to keep an open mind because of previous experiences, remind yourself that you’re dealing with different people, that conditions have changed, or that because you are older and wiser, your chances of success are greater than in the past.
